I'm doing good - just been extremely busy with work - lots of upcoming deadlines, and I have to have two projects done before I leave for the TAG What would you do for the cure initiative in DC next Tuesday thru Thursday. On a positive note - I got a $650,000 grant awarded to the college I work for today - so that was cool. Hopefully, these other ones I'm working on will be just as successful.

Glad to hear that you are doing well - and them cd4s are lookin mighty good!

Great numbers @Ac! I go for labs next month and I hope my numbers drop by an order of magnitude too My first labs had my viral load dropping by two orders of magnitude (59k to 700) only after 4 weeks and my doc was impressed! So I'm hoping that after 3 months it'll be less than 100.

Again great numbers!! This viraday is working great so far for me and I'm just thankful I have no side effects at all.

I'll get there Ac --- but definitely not in the winter - I was in Dallas a few years ago in January or February and it was too dayummm cold. I have a good friend that lives in Lancaster and he was also saying that your summers are fierce (like 105 degrees) - so, I'm thinking a May trip may be my best bet.

Now, on the otherhand, you could always get ur butt to Miami --- 84 outside right now and a nice breeze.
